BACHELOR OF SCIENCE - COMPUTER SCIENCE

With Specialization in Game Development

Program Description

The BS Computer Science program includes the study of computing concepts and
theories, algorithmic foundations and new developments in computing. The
program prepares students to design and create algorithmically complex software
and develop new and effective algorithms for soling computing problems.

The program also includes the study of the standards and practices in Software
Engineering. It prepares students to acquire skills and disciplines required for
designing, writing and modifying software components modules and applications
that comprise software solutions.

Program Learning Outcomes

The BS Computer Science program aims to accomplish the following graduate

outcomes:

1. Apply knowledge of computing fundamentals, mathematics, science, and domain

knowledge appropriate for computer science specialization to the abstraction
and conceptualization of models from defined problems and requirements.
2. Apply knowledge in algorithms that can be used in solving complex
programming problem.
3. Apply software engineering practice over the entire system lifecycle activities
and management of risks involved in software and embedded systems which
meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and
safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Adapt appropriate techniques, resources and modern computing tools to complex
activities, with an understanding of the limitations to accomplish a common goal.
5. Acquire knowledge and understanding of information security issues in relation
to the design, development and use of information systems.
6. Work with a range of technologies employed within the game industry, such as
hand-held devices, desktop devices, and consoles
7. Utilize the tools and techniques used in the development of mobile systems
8. Use scientific method such as data science in analyzing and interpreting data.
9. Utilize new and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, cloud
technology and natural language processing, as a necessity for life-long learning
10. Formulate solution to the complex problem using a programming language,
mathematics, algorithms, data structures, or an appropriate blend of technologies.
11. Communicate effectively with the computing community and with society at
large by being able to comprehend and write effective reports, design
documentation, make effective presentations, and give clear instructions.
12. Adopt appropriate industry practices in resolving the real world issues with
legal, social, ethical and professional consideration involved in the utilization of
computing technology
13. Engaged in research as an individual and as a member or leader for continued
development of the individual, organization, and society in a multidisciplinary
setting.
